Home additions in Rolling Hills

In Rolling Hills a ground floor wing for a bigger family is the lead job, and it starts with how the rooms connect to the rest of the house.

When a family in Rolling Hills needs another bedroom and a place for a grandparent, a single story wing is the first option we put on the table. A ground floor addition is our lead service here because it lets everyone stay on one level, keeps stairs out of the picture and can go up while daily routines continue inside. The question that decides it is whether the parcel has room beside or behind the house.

Fitting a wing on the parcel

We start with the parcel map and the city's setback and lot coverage rules, then sketch where a wing could sit without crowding the yard. A wing off the bedroom hall keeps sleeping rooms together. One off the family room can hold a suite with its own bath and a door to the garden. On a flat lot the footing work is simple. If the lot slopes, the design may call for stepped footings or a short retaining wall, and the drawings show that before anyone signs.

Matching the house and getting approval

Nobody driving past should be able to pick out the new wing. We match roof pitch, eave depth, siding or stucco texture and window style, and choose corrosion resistant fasteners and flashing rated for damp air. Plans are submitted to the building department that serves Rolling Hills, and no framing begins until the permit is in hand. The proposal spells out each step, so the family can see where the wing stands at any point and when the connecting door will open.
